Cutler is like a recently drafted version of Plummer. He doesn't know how to win, yet has good measureables.

Good observation.

A better question would be, who do you build around, Leinart or Cutler. There, you have 2 young up and comers, one with intangibles and a winning background but has limitations physically, the other has all the physical gifts but makes mental errors, bad mechanics and doesn't win. That would be a good question.

Me personally, I favor East Coast/run the ball/vertical pass game offense, so I'd take Cutler. If I had Leinart, id implement a west coast offense, he couldn't be a vertical passer.

It's not like Leinart can't throw the deep ball. But he does loft the ball at times. Shouldn't be a problem with Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.

When I read Scotts scouting report he sounded like the Kyle Boller with Intangibles, ya he can throw the ball far, he has good size and can run fast but decision making is bad.

This is what I read from Scotts scouting report, don't flip out on me saying "you haven't seen a game of his shut up, he had no talent around him he will lead the Bronco's to the superbowl and have several all-pro seasons"

Do you say that because it's opposed to the West? Or do you have a reason?

The West Coast's opposite is the Air Coryell, which is from San Diego (the original WCO).

I thought (I could be wrong) that classic East Coast offense was built around running the ball like heck, and coupling that with PA vertical passes ala Pittsburgh. Lombardi set that tone with the Giants when he was our offensive coordinator, im sure it was around far before him. But being that football started in college waaay back in the day and the east coast had more colleges, and back then all they did was run, i always thought that the old school offense was simply known as East coast offense, and west coast offense being designed as a ying to east coast's yang. I could be wrong.

Cutler had one of the worst supporting casts in college football. He had the worst line, so he had a very short time to throw. He also had bad WRs, so he had to put the ball in small windows. Isn't that what the NFL is all about? Less time and smaller windows. He'll be fine.
